JOURNALIST

ABOUT YOANA

I am a 21-year-old final year journalism student at the University of Salford with particular interest in news for print and online.

Quays News studio

I have worked on various subjects including news, features, politics, investigating and public relations.

My journalism course taught me how to work for TV, radio, print and online through extensive news coverage for all platforms, which trained me how to be a convergent journalist.

I have the NCTJ Law&Media certificate and have extensive experience in court reporting.

Adopting the role of newspaper editor through my university work taught me how to work well with InDesign and Photoshop, while the web editor role developed my skills in SEO.

I am also proficient in Adobe Audition and Premiere.

My work experience at BBC Radio 5 Live Investigates sharpened my investigating skills, while the time spent in Public Relations prepared me to work closely with PR officers and learn how to use press releases to my advantage further.
